In Volume II of "Conversations with Artists", Heidi Zuckerman, CEO and Director of the Aspen Art Museum, continues to explore the critical practices, daily lives and philosophical interests of artists working today. Her insightful questions reveal equally thoughtful responses, providing illuminating perspectives not only on each artist's process but also on the subjects that underline contemporary society.

Zuckerman's personal interviewing style offers readers effortless access into the studios of more than 30 of the most engaging contemporary artists.
